Tackling Self-Sabatoge and Cultivating a Growth Mindset.
Have a bunch of dreams that seem impossible to reach? Set yourself a goal that has taken way too long to accomplish?
This often comes up for us and we know it comes up for you too. The sense that you know exactly how to get “there,” but aren’t quite able to take that first step. This is what we call the “knowing-doing gap.” It’s when your dreams don’t necessarily line up with your actions, and it can be hard to overcome.
So how can we change this?
We all have those unconscious obstacles that we don’t necessarily know how to maneuver around. Therapy can provide us with unbiased insights and guidance on the things we can’t necessarily see and struggle to overcome.
In this episode we unpack the burdens of feeling stuck while providing knowledge and skills on how to get out of your own way.
